I believe it was all about JK making the young man to come out and be a phenomenal drummer, better than anyone else. He was brutal with his methods but it seemed to have paid off in the end.

My latest:

Captive (Ryan Reynolds)

10/10

Fantastic movie!! This one will end up in my collection.

The Remaining

2/10

I didn't know much about the story and I wish I would have, this one sucked!! The only thing I liked about it was a few good kill shots.

Petals on the Wind (Heather Graham)

5/10

This was the sequel to Flowers in the Attic. It was so-so but it wasn't completely terrible either.

Horns. 3/5 Stayed mostly close to the book which was also mediocre. Though the ending was changed to a typical hollywood happy ending.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit 10/10

[Damn Heathen]

While the one-person show slept, I watched a modern giallo twofer:

A Black-Shell Sky Bleeds Red Tendrils -- 7.5/10

The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears -- 7/10

Damn, I was looking for something new to watch for my guiness and Lucky charms Paddy day fest. Looks like its Bride of the Leprechaun and State of Grace again.

Devil's Due 7/10

[Baron Von Marlon]

Wyrmwood (2014)
Refreshing zombie/infected movie from Australia.
Plenty of action, good amount of blood and gore and a bit of humour.
Ending wasn't really satisfying but I read there's a sequel in the works and I wouldn't mind getting some extra information and a good conclusion.

High School (2010)
Better than average stoner comedy about a kid who's trying to get his entire school high. Adrien Brody was pretty cool in this one.

[Damn Heathen]

Clown -- 9.5/10; "Are you building a funhouse?" Best horror movie of the year so far.

The Loft -- 3/10

[TheBossInTheWall]

Grace the Possession. Incredibly camera work. The few sfx were quite good. Sadly, the story and the characters have been done over and over and over. I'd say see it for the camera stuff, but otherwise its not that great. 5/10

[Sculpt]

Dead End
2/10

Christmas Eve. On his way to his in-laws with his family, Frank Harrington decides to try a shortcut, for the first time in 20 years. It turns out to be the biggest mistake of his life.

After reading some positive reviews on this film, it reconfirms there's a gigantic gulf between my tastes & others'. Is this what a bunch of people enjoy these days?

First of all, the characters aren't likeable. It's a family (mom, dad, 26 daughter, 20 son, 28 boyfriend) and they all talk "like sailors" to each other. In the first 5 mins, I could warm up to them a bit, but then the rest was unlikeable. Were their lines supposed to be funny? It wasn't to me. And then they go perverted, but it still wasn't funny. It's a rated R film, how young do you have to be to find this funny?

Secondly, the characters act illogically, which really irks me. (More on that below in the Spoilers)

Third, it's never scary. It's dark humor, I know, still fails to be scary. (New poster "RealityComplex" listed this as a film he thought was scary; so I checked it out.)

The cinematography & sound is good. It's an excellent cast. It had a good premise. It just seems to me a 14 yr old wrote the script, or the film is made for folk very different from me.


Spoilers
The characters were acting illogical. At the end of the film it's revealed it's "a dream". There's dream films where the main characters act logical, such as Inception & Dreamscape -- it works when things BESIDE the main characters are dream-like-illogical. When you lose the anchor of the main character's logic, the contrast is lost. Sure, a film can have dream moments where characters act illogical... but illogical the whole film is too much.
